Jesus’ Repudiation of Old Testament Violence
Superb post, looking forward to the book.
Here’s a thought to start with. I think its very clear Jesus affirmed the divine inspiration of the Old Testament. Out of fidelity to Jesus, I feel compelled to accept this collection of ancient writings as divinely inspired. Yet, also out of fidelity to Jesus, I feel compelled to emphatically repudiate it’s violence.
Superb post, looking forward to the book.

We can all repudiate OT violence and stay true to Jesus when we realize that OT violoence, or any violence, is not part of God's plan A. Because of sin, God has to relate to man in a different way
